Wireless, fair enough. But are you really ignorant enough to think it's not productive to

1. Buy a stick of RAM / new or bigger SSD from your provider of choice online 2. Open the delivery package and install it in your computer in 3 minutes

And get another three years out of your device? Or how about, when your Macbook breaks and you need to take it to a genius bar only to have them tell you that you need to order either a whole new logic board or buy a new computer. Both will require days of waiting.

It's because of people like you that Apple is increasingly producing and pushing worsening quality hardware and service.

EDIT: I should also mention, the XPS 15 is comparable in every aspect of the hardware. And the very thing you're complaining about "I don't want to change my hardware I just want to use it" is completely optional.




"are you really ignorant enough to"

"it's because of people like you"

That's certainly one way to get people to immediately stop listening to you. Parent merely was talking about the wireless cards.


GP has extremely vitriolic comments like [0]:

> Haskell is a community of cancerous people that should die, along with cancer.

This being a tech discussion forum, I really think dang and other HN admins should count attacks based on people's choice of tech as a form of hate speech against any other groups.

Such attacks only distress readers and the buildup of noise from the inevitable responses gradually devolves this place down to the Reddit/4chan tier.

Reading through GP's posts I'm getting a vibe of some sort of personality disorder and/or extreme loneliness. I've seen people develop exactly that sort of holier-than-though techno-puritanism in such circumstances. I can even recognise that mechanism in myself, although I've been lucky enough to leave most of it behind after my teenage years.

Anyway, I wouldn't necessarily equate such statements with actual hate speech. It's just hyperbole and Haskell/Python/Ruby users are probably save.

The comments are still bad because they just don't add anything.
